A.Smoothandfruitful.

B.Inspiringandlucky.

C.Boringbutworthwhile.

D.Toughbutrewarding.

解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知，他的藝術(shù)探索之路有艱辛，再結(jié)合

第七段表述的他在二十世紀(jì)六十年代初因鳥類和昆蟲印章藝術(shù)而成名。由此推知，對(duì)他的

藝術(shù)探索之路的評(píng)價(jià)應(yīng)是“雖然艱辛但有回報(bào)”。

3.InHan'sopinion,whatdoanexperiencedtailorandagoodsealcarvershare?

A.Thehugerespecttheyearn.

B.Theflexibilitytheydisplayatwork.

C.Thespecificcustomerstheyserve.

D.Theeffortstheyhavetomaketosucceed.

子時(shí)裝上的紐扣，有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的裁縫總是知道如何選擇紐扣，以搭配整體風(fēng)格以及尾段中的A

goodsealcarver...gowellwiththepainting1sstyle可知，有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的裁縫和優(yōu)秀的印章雕刻家

的共性就是他們?cè)诠ぷ魃纤憩F(xiàn)的靈活性。

4.Inwhichsectionofanewspaperdoesthistextmostprobablyappear?

A.Education.B.Events.

C.Entertainment.D.People.

解析：選D文章出處題。本文主要講述了中國印章雕刻大師韓天衡的藝術(shù)探索之路，

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究表明虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)有助于減輕疼痛。

5.What'soneoftheadvantagesofVRtoreducepain?

A.It*smuchsafer.

B.It'smoreconvenient.

C.Ifsmuchfaster.

D.ifsmoreefficient.

解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，用虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)來減輕疼痛更加

安全。

6.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“chronic”inParagraph3mean?

A.Sudden.B.Long-term.

C.Light.D.Sharp.

解析：選B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句和第三段最后一句中的Itisfairly

long-livedpain可知，chronicpain與膝蓋撞到桌子或者把手放在很熱的水中所造成的疼痛

不同，它是一種長期的疼痛。由此可推知，chronic意為“長期的”。

7.Whywasthespecialcreamusedintheexperiment?

A.ToAndchemicalsinhotpeppers.

B.Tobringcomforttovolunteers.

C.Toburnthevolunteers，mouth.

D.Tocausesometemporarypain.

解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二、三句可知，這種特殊的藥膏會(huì)造成短暫

的疼痛。

8.Howwasthetestcarriedout?

A.Bygivingnumbers.

B.Byusingexamples.

C.Bymakingacomparison.

D.Bypresentingresearchfindings.

解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，研究人員讓志愿者們兩次觀看同

一部電影，一次是用頭戴式VR設(shè)備看3?D電影，一次是看2?D電影。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)用VR設(shè)

備觀看電影比觀看2?D畫面的電影更能幫助志愿者減輕疼痛。由此可推知，實(shí)驗(yàn)是通過做

對(duì)比進(jìn)行的。

語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了曾是時(shí)尚攝影師的RickGuidotti改變了對(duì)美的

理解，開始將鏡頭轉(zhuǎn)向特殊人群。

9.WhydidRickchangehiscareer?

A.Becausehecouldn，tearnenoughmoneyfromhisformercareer.

B.Becausethebeautyoncoversofmagazinesarenotbeautiful.

C.Becausehewantedtocreatehisowncompany.

D.Becausehiscomprehensionofbeautychangedowingtoanalbinogirl.

己的職業(yè)，是因?yàn)橐晃话谆∨⒏淖兞怂麑?duì)美的理解。

10.WhatcanweknowaboutPositiveExposure?

A.ItbringsalotofmoneyforRick.

B.Itmakesthepublicmorebeautiful.

C.Itwelcomesdifferencesintheworld.

解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知，這個(gè)組織樂于接受世界上的不同。

11.WhatdoestheauthorwanttotellusbymentioningJayneinParagraph4?

A.Jaynewasbeautifulindeed.

B.PhotographsgaveJayneapositivesenseofwhoshewas.

C.ItwasunfairnobodydiscoveredJayne*sbeauty.

D.Jayne'spicturewasmorebeautifulthanherself.

解析：選B寫作意圖題。通讀第四段內(nèi)容可知，在遇到Rick前，Jayne從來沒想過

自己很美，因?yàn)闆]人說過她美，但是在Rick給她拍照后，她感覺很好，感到有人很喜歡她

并且看到了真實(shí)的她，而不是只看到她的疾病，那天對(duì)她來講是難忘的、特別的。由此可

知，作者提到Jayne是想告訴我們那些照片讓Jayne對(duì)自己有了積極的自我認(rèn)識(shí)。

12.Whatdoestheauthormainlyintendtotellusinthelastparagraph?

A.Weshouldtravelfrequently.

B.Communityhasagreatinfluenceoneveryone.

C.Weshouldmakecontributionstoourcommunity.

D.Yourattitudetoseeingtheworlddecidesyourbehavior.

解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，本段介紹了Rick向大家傳達(dá)的一

個(gè)信息：要用積極的心態(tài)看待自己、發(fā)現(xiàn)自我，在反思中發(fā)現(xiàn)美，同時(shí)鼓勵(lì)周圍的人也做

出改變。由此可知，作者想告訴我們看待世界的態(tài)度決定了一個(gè)人的行為。

語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。作者通過分析法國電影《美麗的人》的藝術(shù)特點(diǎn)，闡述自

己的觀影感受，并速議讀者放慢生活節(jié)奏，積極樂觀地面對(duì)枯燥的校園生活。

5.WhatdoweknowaboutLaBellePersonnefromthefirstparagraph?

A.Itenjoyshighpopularity.

B.Itownsspecialartisticcharm.

C.Itappliesmoderntechniques.

D.Itfeatureslivelyperformances.

解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的allofwhichgivethefilmitsuniquecharm

可知，前文所介紹的電影柔和暗淡的顏色、平淡無奇的情節(jié)和主角毫無生氣的表演都賦予

了這部電影特有的魅力。

alazyriverundergreyskieswherethewaterisslightlytoocold.Butifyourelax,yourbody

色天空下緩緩流淌的河，那里的河水有點(diǎn)冷。但是，你如果放松下來，就會(huì)適應(yīng)這個(gè)溫

度，就可以坐下來享受這個(gè)旅程。由此推斷，這部電影值得慢慢地、全身心地品味。

7.Whatdoesunderlinedword"tedious“inthelastparagraphprobablymean?

A.Boring.B.Painstaking.

C.Impractical.D.Unnecessary.

解析：選A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞前的Withnopartiestoattend,mostclasses

online,andthemajorityofclubslimitedtoZoomMeetings可知，校園里沒有聚會(huì)，大部

分課程都在線上，大多數(shù)俱樂部僅限于視頻會(huì)議，所以，每天起床都會(huì)感覺枯燥無聊的

一天開始了。由此可推知，畫線詞與A項(xiàng)意思相近。

8.Whatisthepurposeofthistext?

A.Toshowtheimportanceofgoingtothemovies.

B.Torecommendpeopletoenjoyanuniquemovie.

C.Tointroduceawaytoappreciateacertainmovie.

sohorribleforthingstobeslow-paced,asitallowsspaceforreflectionandbeingpresent.可

知，放慢生活的節(jié)奏也并不可怕，因?yàn)檫@樣給我們留下了反思的空間，讓我們過好當(dāng)下。
